Customer Feedback:
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
“The man who came was such a nice fellow and he was on time— right on the dot! Their pricing is fair. I am very satisfied, and recommended them to my neighbor around the corner who was just as pleased. Next time, I’m going to have them replace my water heater.“

Customer Feedback:
The Carpet Doctor
“I’ve used Don once a year for the past three years. I have a big dog living on wall-to-wall white carpeting, and Don does such a thorough wonderful job. I really like that he does the work himself. He is dependable, his rates are reasonable, and he is so trustworthy.”

Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“I was very happy with their service, and I definitely recommend them. We recently had windows installed, and although it takes a year or two to see if the quality is still there, so far they are doing great! You can use me as a reference with no hesitation.”
